TONIGHT IN CHICAGO, by ANONYMOUS First Line: "it's a sitting-pretty, windy-city kind of a place" Last Line: Candlelight and spotlight / kind of a place Subject(s): Chicago | ||||||||
It's a sitting-pretty, windy-city kind of a place. It's a dine-au-chateau, lake-shore-below, Kind of place. It's the Loop and the Mart, a great city's heart; It's a quiet-and-gentle, elegantal, Continental Kind of place. A sprawl-in, sit-tall-in kind of a place. A quiet lair, a want-to-be-there, a welcome face Kind of place. It's a tall-one-all-tinkly, a smile-all-wrinkly. It's a wonderful food, wonderful mood, Kind of place. It's excitement and fun, adventure begun, a Candlelight and a spotlight Kind of place. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...METAMORPHOSES: 3.
